Also, a large amount of that energy is going into superconductors. So practically no wastage. DevilLord Posted at 11:02 pm on Sep. 11, 2008 I dont thik that much electricity wud be suffiecient to wrk the LHC. CERN must be relying on some other sourse too. JOZ Posted at 5:42 am on Sep. 11, 2008 14 million euros a year to runn it is bugger in comparasion to the 8.6billion euros that they spent to make it obvious child Posted at 7:24 pm on Sep. 10, 2008 That's actually cheap. $24 million. The pentagon's electrical bill was $3.7 billion over the six-year period. The Samsoniteman Posted at 10:33 am on Sep. 10, 2008 The UK helped create CERN in 1954 and the US has observer status.

Hi Jack Posted at 10:10 am on Sep. 10, 2008 and apparently they spend £120 million per year on peanuts... radio 4 for breakfast FTW!!! Themakingofagod Posted at 10:10 am on Sep. 10, 2008 Well apparently it won't matter because everything is going to be sucked into a black hole.  *sarcastically runs around the room screaming* SpM Posted at 10:09 am on Sep. 10, 2008 They should have used energy saving lightbulbs.
